Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red is not interested in being acquired despite the likes of Xbox and PlayStation actively seeking out studios to purchase.
Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion, but I think cyberpunk would have been just as good with somone else playing Johnny. Let’s be honest, it probably would have been better.
Keanu may be a great guy, although I assume we mainly think that because of his PR company, but he’s not a particularly good actor. Film actors are also often worse at stuff like this than professional voice actors. It’s not an uncommon complaint.
Not that I blame them, I assume they mainly hired him for marketing purposes, and he absolutely did help generate hype.
I completely agree with everything you’ve said. Also, I don’t blame Keanu if he did have harsh contractual penalties with CDPR, as it’s his agents who negotiate contracts.
However I would say that, while his PR team no doubt influence things, by all accounts he is a very stand up dude.
People knew about Harvey Weinstein, that was an open secret. There are indications, Keanu displays none of them. There are also far too many anecdotes from random people saying how nice he is.
Like I say, I’m sure his PR people help, but he’s probably one of their easier clients.
We might not know for certain, but we can say with confidence that tales of his character are probably true.

How would we know though?
He’s an A-lister and he’s represented by a big talent agency and production company.
They can quite easily squash stories, simply by refusing media access to other stars or productions on their roster.
Hell, for all we know he could be on Epstein’s list. Or he could be secretly donating money to donkey sanctuaries. Who knows?

Anything is possible, but A-list celebrities have hundreds of people and even whole news organisations trying expose any possible secrets they have.
Trying to disprove him being a down to earth good person, is probably akin to dispensing the moon landing at this point…
